parliament asked the council to call a session and is summoning security chiefs over the crisis. as for the president, viktor yanukovych he says he is still president and in charge but speculation is increasing about his whereabouts and has been for days and looks like he is in the southern russian city near the border of ukraine and he says he will hold a news conference there in the next few hours. and our correspondence are covering all angles of the story and we are in crimea's capitol and in kiev where they are scrambling to try to contain the crisis and in russia where yanukovych is due to speak and first let's cross to the civilian airport and there are two and we are on the lien and who is in control of that airport, lawrence? >> yes, it's 12:00 noon here and for all intents and purposes in the terminal building you would

think it is a completely normal day and going to istanbul and outside it's not normal because throughout the morning we have seen these large groups of green camp -- camafloge men coming out of the block and changing ships and organizing the perimeter and the airport security say they control it and will not let the people in but they already have control of the vip area. i have to say that their magazines are not loaded and couldn't fire if they wanted to but as a show of strength and as a signal given the security services told us and the ukraine i don't know government believe they are actually russian forces without insignia on the uniforms

is big to date with the russians and if they were prepared to talk they would describe the western partners and would maintain security for russian majority. >> reporter: thank you, lawrence lee at the airport and we will cross to walker outside of the airport and robin bring us up to date on the situation there. >> we understand that the armed malitia took over the parliament building and the regional government here in simferopol and holding positions in the buildings and no sign of them. the police are keeping guard outside. meanwhile pro-russian supporters are gathering outside of the government and playing crimea russian music and a since very much here that things have fallen very much into the hands of those pro-russian forces with

a new government being formed, a regional government here that is pro-russian, that has asked for russia financial support and assistance and also referendum tables for later this year in which crimea will be choosing what future it wants to have, whether it will remain an automous region and they are in control and backed up it seems by military forces on the ground. they want to seize crimea away from ukraine or looking to have a completely independent crimea or a crimea back in russian territorial control. >> reporter: robin walker roberting and thank you, robin and let's go to the capitol kiev and tim friend is monitoring it there, how is this temporary government and i say temporary because the election is in may dealing effectively what is two crisis, one economically in kiev

and secondly the threat from separatism in the crimea? >> well, of course, the fire fighting effect. they were only sworn in on thursday in parliament. they have a huge economic crisis and now this in crimea. it's nothing less really than ensuring that ukraine stays united, at least that is the way they see it. and just to reaffirm what you were saying earlier the interior on the facebook page has tipified this as an armed invasion down there at the military airport and says it's a violation of all international agreements and norms and parliament is calling on the international community to ensure the integrity of the budapest memorandum signed in 94 saying the uk, us and will

ensure the sovereignty of ukraine and not threaten it in any way. the russian ambassador himself is not in kiev any longer, but the russian embassy here has been asked for a clarification and the acting president is meeting his security chiefs as we speak. so the situation for the new leadership in kiev yet more challenges ahead and at the moment the atmosphere is tense. >> no doubt. what about the situation in kiev itself, tim, on the streets for example, i'm told a lot of police have come off the streets, no signs of security forces, crime is going up, the city is broke, they are desperate for money to pay civil servants. >> reporter: well, it's relatively quiet here in kiev after the events of the square of course which culminated in

those dreadful events last week when more than 80 people were killed by police snipers and resulted in the political demise of president yanukovych which is precisely what demonstrators spent three months trying to achieve. but it's almost now as though the greater challenges lie ahead and people are almost stunned thinking what have we unleashed here because, of course, the reaction in crimea has been a result of this and later on as you were saying president yanukovych we think will go on televised press conference in russia and we will be watching carefully of course to see how the people here, what they make of it because he is a hated man to them of course and they will be intrigued to see what he has to say. >> reporter: tim friend in kiev, thanks tim.

let's pick up with tim's point at the end of his report there and go to rory challenge because he is in the russian city and how much do we know about the press conference and will it take place and do you know where it will take place, any idea what he will say? >> much of that information is pretty sketchy steven and the team has been asking questions and not getting that much information back. we don't still have an official answer about specifically where this press conference is going to be. we have been doing some digging and the information we are getting through taxi drivers and locals here and that is information that seems to be backed up on what is on twitter is that it will be taking place at the don technical university, not far away from where i'm standing and due to start in about three hours' time. we don't know who will be let inside either because viktor yanukovych in his ukrainian days

had a fairly well-known habit of only giving press conferences for journalists he considered to be favorable to his policy and his position and we don't know whether we will be let inside ourselves. if we are and if other journal lists are inside and allowed to ask question of the former president of ukraine of course there will be some big, serious questions put to him, not least of those are going to be who are these armed men in crimea, does he have any control over them, what has happened to ukraine's money because the interim government there is saying some $70 billion has gone missing over the last few years and also what is viktor yanukovych going to be doing next and what are the people, the russians who are guarantying his security now, what are they going to be doing next as well. serious questions for the president if he takes them. >> indeed if he takes them and thank you and we are watching

develops across ukraine and that is robin walker in simferopol and thank you all. venezuela and they are calling for more demonstrations and come back on the streets are saying at least 14 people have been killed in unrest since the student-led protest began and there is arrest for another opposition figure and part of a crack down on decent and from caracus. >> they are in the streets preparing for further confrontation with security forces and thursday kicked off a week-long holiday in venezuela but no sign of tensions easing. >> translator: i want to make an appeal to the president madura who calls himself a president and this is too much because there is no security and no healthcare, there isn't anything. as an administrator i don't get nothing and he cannot be in this

position any longer. >> reporter: there were also protests in the capitol caracus and standoffs between protesters and security forces. the protests come a day after president maduro hosted a peace conference but it was a meeting that the main opposition leader decided to skip. >> translator: i feel that with the way this government is behaving it is extinguishing itself. this government is consuming itself. this government in the last few days, for example, from the international viewpoint has generated more questions. there are more unanswered questions regarding the dead, the injured, the tortured victims and those deprived of their liberty. >> reporter: and they say he chose not to attend because of fear. >> translator: they were not there because they were supported to the bomb ings groups that control the media and dictate policy to any

politician who sits down and talks with the government of venezuela. >> reporter: they will block the traffic headed to the country's sun-soaked beaches. >> and he has a harsh reality and despite calling it a national hold they thousands of protesters across the country want to keep up the pressure and hopefully leading to a change in government policy or him stepping down and unlikely in the divided country and i'm with al jazeera, caracu. >> reporter: this is the news hour from doha and concerned about discrimination and still to come the world bank weighs in on a controversial antigay bill in uganda plus helping children deal with the traumas of war. and we visit a project in turkey and she is trying to heal the youngest victims of syria's conflict and sport and drama and

controversy in the league as they make the last 16, details in sport. ♪ before all of that french president has arrived in the central african republic and meeting french soldiers deployed there and trying to enthe violence between christians and militias and thousands have died in the fighting and tanya is live in the capitol of bongi and over to you. >> in just a few moments we are expecting to hear from the french president who will be addressing the media and some of the troops who have gathered here. he on friday will meet with religious leaders and the interim president and taking a look at some of the stockpiled weapons the french military have seized from gunmen and armed men on the streets here. and he has a pretty packed day and it has to be said that

really the people here, the soldiers here are going to be looking for reassurances from him because i think this week we have seen the french parliament extend the mission here beyond april indefinitely and we are seeing also some interesting comments from the general in charge here and we will get to that a little bit later on and this is a complex conflict and one the french president maybe has under estimated. this is a city within a city. 60,000 christians have left their homes for a camp near bongi's airport and signs they are here to stay. they don't think it's safe to go home because mostly muslim selica fighters are still here and accused of killing their way to the capitol in a coup and the balica want revenge so selica have peace keepers who do not want us to disclose their location and musa wants peace

but does not accept much responsibility. >> translator: we always speak about selica but we have been gone for two months, what about the antibalica? no one says anything wrong about them, the government and the french should take responsibility and control the situation. >> reporter: the antibalica christian fighters are taking revenge against muslims and thousands left the country and antibalica want reconciliation but on their own terms. >> translator: we cannot manage the country and we are under the impression about it and we hear gunfire and it's muslims who are shooting. >> reporter: french and au peace keepers can't control the violence. it's hard to tell how much control the leaders of antibalica and seleca have over supports and talk of peace and disarming and the reality on the ground is people are being lynched and muslims and

christians are living in fear and no one knows where it's hitting. another area empties after another shooting, antibalica christians killed an selica fighter and he is fed up of living like this, like animals. but he won't budge and they stay despite half the neighbors moving to a camp. >> translator: we want to stop all of this and send away the antibalica and selica and do nothing for the country and they have armed and knives and no one ever gets punished. >> reporter: in a country where muslims and christians lived peacefully until a few months ago cannot understand how it came to this and how people of car can find their way back. >>. a country of escalating violence there are an estimated 2000 french, 6,000 african union troops, why isn't that enough,

why is that not working? >> look, one of the problems is that this is a big country and 4 1/2 million people, the population, they are very spread out. there is on the way a promise from banki moon from the un, 1,000 peace keepers and a thousand from the european as well but it could take weeks and could take months and the country and the people here really don't have the time. one big issue here is the government, the interim government doesn't have the tools of a proper functioning state and there is no army, a police force and no tools to work with. the french commander in charge says on thursday that he wants to see the government taking some responsibility, that it can't rely on the international community and that they need to get their house in order. but on the other side the

interim president catherine panza are calling for peace keepers and say we cannot do it for ourselves and it could be months or years before the country really gets back on its feet but with it there is some responsibility or greater responsibility taken on behalf of the transitional government. it will be interesting to see whether that comes up in the conversations between the two presidents on friday. >> reporter: indeed it will and tanya live from bongui thanks. they are withholding a loan intended for healthcare in uganda in response to an antigay bill signed into law that was signed into law on monday and concerned about discrimination and the law could effect healthcare for homosexual and it's worth $90 million and it relies on 20% of them on the annual budget and we have an author from debunking economics and says it shows maturity for

the world bank. >> it's big for the bank because they have to normally talk about social decisions made in countries because there are many different countries and this is a very big move saying this is not a norm, this is discrimination and we will sends a signal to you and it's not large but it's $19 million when their lines total up to billions of dollars but it's significant and i think quite an impressive move for the bank to make the decision and the bank made a lot of bad decisions in the past with economic decisions based on a very abstract theory of how it work and it did not take loans because it wasn't appropriate but this is appropriate and not one engaged in economics. so i think it's a courageous decision by the bank and shows a bit of a shift in the bank and learning about mistakes they

made in the past because of a view of what the economy should be. this is more saying they have to look at the social impact of policies and i think that is a positive impact of the bank and showing intellectual and emotional maturity. >> reporter: they delivered badly needed aid to people living in the refugee camp and parcels were brought to them in damascus for the second time this week and there are thousands of people suffering in the camp and in need of medical care. they have been trapped there for months because of the fighting. what children see in war can leave a deep psychological impact in turkey and coming to terms of what they have seen and experienced. omar explains. >> the children are not misbehaving and they are being encouraged to scream. they have come from a war zone and this exercise helps them

release their violent emotions. the teachers ask them what does the word violence mean? some talk about the arguments they had with their classmates back in syria. others record their memories of war. >> translator: my friend wrapped his chest with fireworks on himself and he killed us, he burned himself. >> translator: my brother was killed. a shell hit his house. >> miss, miss, army soldiers came and raided and burned our house. >> reporter: then it's time for the children to put their memories and feelings into drawings, death and fighting dominates most of their work. and she wants to show me her brother's grave and others show me dead children. running this program is a group called aerobic for human and it's a nongovernmental organization funded by a $25,000 grant from the danish

government, all staffers are trained by the danish red cross to provide psychological support to syrian children. >> our goal is to teach them how to express those feelings using painting in order so that they gain a sense of control over them which helps in the coping process. their growing has been suppressed by many factors. 65% of those children are not going to school. of those 35% are forced to work in very hard circumstances. >> reporter: the playground nearby it's time to have fun but some need extra care. around 150 children have participated in workshops like this one. some of them are showing signs of post-traumatic stress disorder including severe depression, lack of sleep and eating disorder. the trainers say they need

psychiatric help. but there are not enough psychiatric hospitals, schools or even food for the syrian refugees. they play for now but the syrian war will always be part of their lives. i'm with al jazeera near the turkey, syria border. >> a day of press freedom draw attention to the journalists being held in egypt and al jazeera is demanding their release and fahmy and gresta and mahommad and another reporter has been held since august and patty reports. >> making a statement with their silence the solidarity first on display in the newsroom in doha

charter with nato to ask for consultations in the event of a threat to the territorial integrity. so if russia was to go down this road and it's a decision of vladimir putin, it would relate to freezing with the western world and many countries around the world and after all countries like china are strongly in favor of territorial integrity of the states and not just the western countries and if russia supports separatism in the crimea how can it continue to argue that kosovo is not independent and argue that chetchen should be in russia and you open up a pandora box if you start doing this abroad. >> reporter: there are speakers in ukraine and likely to be up set about the parliament decision to repeal the laws that protect the language and this is
